Question: Plate Glass Repair
I have a thick glass kidney-shaped coffee table with beveled edges. It is supported by a curved glass on the edge. The top has 4 chips on its edges. One of the supports has damage on a vertical edge. Two questions:
- Is there a Kit right for repairing plate glass?
- What would a glass repair shop usually charge for repairs like this?
Answer:
Thank you for your inquiry.
If you could provide a picture of the damage, we could better answer your question.
We have repaired many types of glass surfaces using the 30277 Plate Glass Repair Kit you are referring to, which includes coffee tables. The kit will eliminate sharp edges and provides a smooth finish.
Cosmetic appearance is also improved considerably, but due to the large volume of resin required to fill the damage, a competed repair will always be visible.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t give you an idea of what a glass repair shop would charge for this type of repair.
Have you ever seen a BB hole in a storefront window and wonder if it is repairable? Despite the cone-shaped plug of glass missing from the large side of the break (usually on the inside of the glass), repairing these types of damages is possible. A plate-glass repair is a common process.
